Exclusive: 'Dark Knight Rises' Juno Temple lowers her shades in new 'Dirty Girl' poster

'Dark Knight Rises' star making noise in 2011

Once again, a new decade has brought a wave of impressive new acting talent to moviegoers and the media's attention.  Chris Hemsworth already has "Thor" under his belt with the increasingly hyped "Cabin in the Woods" already in the can. Taylor Kitsch will make it or break it with next year's double take of "John Carter" and "Battleship." Mia Wasikowska was relatively unknown before the success of "Alice in Wonderland," "The Kids Are All Right" and "Jane Eyre" and now she's recognized all over the world.  Rooney Mara used roles in last year's "A Nightmare On Elm Street" and "The Social Network" to help her land "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." And before 2012 is done, Juno Temple  will have gone from that little, mean girl in "Atonement" to an adult actress to seriously watch out for.

The 21-year-old Brit first gained mainstream attention for "Atonement," but it's the more mature roles she's played in "Greenberg," Gregg Araki's "Kaboom" (where she pretty much stole the show) and the Sundance Film Festival selection "Little Birds" has seen her stature rocket inside the industry.  Not only does she have a significant role in "The Three Musketeers" this October, but she's currently part of Christopher Nolan's ensemble for "The Dark Knight Rises."  And while fans count the days until that must-see debuts next summer, one of her more outrageous roles is finally hitting the big screen this year, "Dirty Girl."

Set in the '80s, Abe Sylvia's "Dirty Girl" finds Temple playing Danielle, a rebellious, smoking, sexually active high schooler who befriends Clarke (newcomer Jeremy Dozier), a gay classmate who dreams of escaping the confines of their small town life and lacks her confident swagger.  Danielle's home life is miserable (at least in her eyes).  She can't deal with her mother (Milla Jovovich) or her mother's intended husband to be (William H. Macy), so the pair take drastic action and hit the road running away for greener pastures (or so they think). The comedy debuted at the 2011 Toronto Film Festival and looks like it will be released sometime this summer.

The Weinstein Company has provided HitFix with an exclusive new poster for "Dirty Girl" which you can find embedded in this post.  It shares similarly imagery to the original poster to Stanley Kubrick's "Lolita" and Cameron Crowe's "Almost Famous" key art, but we love how it spotlights Ms. Temple's  eyes.  Sure, Danielle is a dirty girl, but there is more to her than just youthful overconfidence.

    A Nightmare Before Elm Street? Dark Knight Rising? Are those intentional errors to catch other sites stealing your work? Or did YOU just get caught?

      DefRef Be careful. A friend called out Ellwood's serial typos and grammatical gaffes too many times and got banned. (Same thing happened when he called out Annalee Newitz at io9. Editors don't take being proofread very kindly.) I've learned to just accept that big shot Hollywood players who own web sites aren't subject to editing.

      What I find shocking is that Milla Jovovich is now playing MOTHERS! Whoa.

    She is in Atonement but for the life of me I cannot remember her or the character she plays.

    Sorry, I remember now. She's the girl who marries the guy who raped her. But she actually looks really different in that movie.
